Freedom's Child

Jax Miller
Goodreads  
Crown • 2015

Freedom Oliver has plenty of secrets. She lives in a small Oregon town and keeps mostly to herself. Her few friends and neighbors know she works at the local biker bar; they know she gets arrested for... public drunkenness almost every night; they know she’s brash, funny, and fearless. What they don’t know is that Freedom Oliver is a fake name. They don’t know that she was arrested for killing her husband, a cop, twenty years ago. They don’t know she put her two kids up for adoption. They don’t know that she’s now in witness protection, regretting ever making a deal with the Feds, and missing her children with a heartache so strong it makes her ill.Then, she learns that her daughter has gone missing, possibly kidnapped. Determined to find out what happened, Freedom slips free of her handlers, gets on a motorcycle, and heads for Kentucky, where her daughter was raised. As she ventures out on her own, no longer protected by the government, her troubled past comes roaring back at her: her husband’s vengeful, sadistic family; her brief, terrifying stint in prison; and the family she chose to adopt her kids who are keeping dangerous secrets. Written with a ferocious wit and a breakneck pace, Freedom’s Child is a thrilling, emotional portrait of a woman who risks everything to make amends for a past that haunts her still.

RC RECENZE | Dítě svobody (Jax Miller)

Dítě svobody pro mě dost možná zůstane největším překvapením letošního roku. Ke knize jsem přišla trochu jako slepá k houslím a vůbec jsem netušila, co mohu očekávat. Ke čtení jsem proto přistoupila s jedním z nejčistších štítů poslední doby, protože jsem o této novince nevěděla vlastně nic. A zůstala jsem koukat, jak příjemné čtení to bylo. Velké poděkování patří Knihám Dobrovský za to, že[...]
